1.what is different about the philosophy of the party in 1984, to other dystopian societies, such as USSR and the Nazis

Orwell showed similarities between 1984's party, Ingsoc, the Nazi party, and Stalinist Russia, all totalitarian regimes. He did this by portraying the leadership ideals, the propaganda techniques, the fierce secret police, and the basic idea of creating a pure party used by all of these regimes. Big Brother was a mirror image of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin in many aspects. All three rulers ruled with an iron fist, this means that they ruled with basically no tolerance of opposition and by dictatorship ideals. Orwell showed this through Big Brother's ideas, and beliefs. Throughout Stalin's rule, he enforced several "Five-year plans", which called for increases in industrial production, and collectivization of agriculture. These plans led to the emergence of an all-powerful nation, The Soviet Union. In 1984, Big Brother used similar three-year plans, "The telescreen was still babbling away about pig iron and the overfulfillment of the Ninth Three-year plan," (Orwell, pg.6) to bolster Ingsoc's productivity and success. Much like Stalin, Big Brother's plans were a success in creating a powerful state. Adolf Hitler on the other hand, concerned himself more with spreading a feeling of pride amongst his party.

The Party is different from Nazism and Russian Communism because they don't allow there to be saints. In the latter two societies, when someone was killed, they were seen as martyrs. However, the Party first converts all criminals to love the party by subjecting them to their greatest fears. Only after the criminals love Big Brother and the Party are they killed. Basically, they can't be killed as martyrs because they have switched sides, from fighting the Party to supporting it. Another difference is that the party wanted power for the sake of having power whereas the Nazis or USSR wanted more control and taking over land, money,...

...Throughout the evolution of man, power and control have been idealized. When power is attained by manipulative dictators, citizens may initially view them as a means to satisfy their need for structure and direction. An author's grim prophecy of mankind in a totalitarian society is depicted in George Orwell's, 1984. Citizens in Oceania are governed by the Party Big Brother, which succeeds in controlling their actions and minds. The concept of oppression is taken to a new level, until there is no sense of humanity within the society.
Natural instincts and emotions do not exist for the citizens in Oceania, as they are conditioned since birth to be working bodies, lacking mercy and compassion. "By careful early conditioning, by games and cold water, by the rubbish that was dinned into them at school and in the Spies and the Youth League, by lectures, parades, songs, slogans and martial music, the natural feeling had been driven out of them." (Orwell, p.71) The main repetitive means of conditioning were the Party slogans which citizens must adhere to; War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength. War is linked with peace and security, rather than horror and grief. Freedom is viewed as being an individual, therefore more susceptible to torture. The individual is defeated and therefore enslaved to the government rather than being apart of the government. In result, there is no freedom of thought,...

...joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves."
In 1984 the Party uses various tactics to manipulate the inhabitants of Oceania as well as those of Nazi Germany. A common form of control in both the Party and the Nazi empire was the use of children for fulfilling the will of their respective government. In Orwell’s novel1984 Winston claims that,
“It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak—“child hero” was the phrase generally used—had overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police.”
the children of 1984 are used as a separate police force to monitor the actions of the people around them, including their parents. Theses “child heroes” are almost an exact.
Memory hole
A memory hole is any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records, such as from a web site or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened. The concept was first popularized by George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

...1984 Psychology Analysis
The story of 1984 takes place in what used to be England, but eventually became Airstrip One. The Party, the ruling totalitarian political regime of the land, held absolute power in this alternate world. The main character, Winston Smith, is seen as an insignificant by the Party and is of low societal position. Winston cannot go anywhere in life, including his own home, without the Party watching his every move through telescreens. Everywhere he turns he finds the face of the Big Brother, the Party’s all-knowing leader. In Oceania, the Party controls absolutely everything. The Party dictates history by rewriting what happened to match up with their desires and also controls human language by prohibiting people from saying specific words, phrases, or talking about certain general ideas. The language implemented by the Party is called Newspeak, which is an attempt to prevent people from discussing any sort of political rebellion by eliminating words that would lead for one to do so. Even the thought of rebellion was illegal. Thoughtcrime, as it was called, was considered amongst the worst crimes a person of Oceania could commit. The Party’s three slogans were: “War is Peace”, “Freedom is Slavery”, and “Ignorance is Strength”. Each of these phrases obviously contradicts traditional American ideology, but Oceania’s brainwashing mechanisms...

...﻿Essay – 1984
Analyse how conflict has been represented through your prescribed text.
Thesis:
In 1984, conflict is overwhelmingly pervasive. Unlike most narratives where conflict is a trigger or catalyst for an unfolding plot, conflict is the very essence of Orwell’s story. He asserts, that in the context of a dark political dystopia the real and abiding battle is between totalitarian impulse to control and the freedom of individual expression and identity. The ultimate end in this society, which is well beyond redemption is victory to the party and the total dehumanisation of its subjects.
A facet of the Party’s control in 1984 is the dissemination of fear and inferiority, ‘A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself’. Omnipresent surveillance and the Thought Police create a societal fear of unorthodoxy, a tool of the Party to keep them obliviously subdued. This conflicting fear is clearly revealed in Winston, who after buying a diary, carries it ‘guiltily home’, feeling that even with nothing written in it, it is a ‘compromising possession’. The consequences of being caught reinforce these fears, including draconian forms of punishment, then the eventual healing. ‘We do not merely destroy our enemies, we change them’.
Other means include the war between the superstates....

”Nineteen Eighty-Four” – Pages 1-40
If there is any doubt of the persistent power of literature it should be banished by the novel “1984” by GeorgeOrwell. There is much that reasonant for most of us in Orwell’s dystopia in the face of Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA; the totalitarian State of Oceania, its menacing Big Brother, the history-erasing Ministry of Truth and the sinister Thought Police with their everpresent telescreens. Eventhough the novel “1984” was read by its readers in 1949, the novel was meant to represent a very real threat in near future: a totalitarian regime within the next thirty years.
The threat against privacy is, in Orwell’s opinion, one to be fought against.

...1984 By GeorgeOrwell Questions Jayson Papa
1. Re read pages 3-6 and describe the setting/atmosphere in your own words
The first few chapters of 1984 are devoted to introducing the major characters and themes of the novel. These chapters also acquaint the reader with the harsh and oppressive world in which, Winston Smith lives in. It is from Winston’s perspective that the reader witnesses the brutal physical and psychological cruelties brought upon the people by their government. The tone, setting and atmosphere in the opening pages are recurring throughout the whole book and for most of the book the same tone remains. The overall tone of the book is dark, pessimistic, gloomy, cynical and undesirable, especially in the first few pages. It is a slow paced first few pages which reiterate the dark and gloomy tone as every day in London is surrounded and captured by miserable weather. The slow paced and gloomy tone matches Winston’s attitude and actions. The facilities and buildings are run downed and old and are described as grey and dull of colour.
2. What might change in your life if you “had to live…in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinised” how does Winston react to/live with these conditions?

“The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way.

“The diary would be reduced to ashes and himself to vapour. Only the Thought Police would read what he had written, before they wiped it out of existence and out of memory.
